"Three years ago I told myself: "this year I either change my life for good by creating something huge and inspiring, or I simply stop living." Here I am three years later and when I reflect on what I created with Horns Up Rocks thus far, I feel extremely proud and accomplished. And most importantly, very happy to be alive and living life to the fullest. HUR reflects who I am, it is my life! I am not doing this for the fame or the glory, I am doing this because I am always seeking for the inspiration that keeps igniting my creative passion. I am always looking for that rush I get every time I interview some of the best musicians in the planet, or when I get to see amazing bands from all levels tear up a stage apart! And that rush can't and won't be extinguished, ever. TRUST ME!" - Jö Schüftan

Here are some words from Horns Up Rocks' founder Jö Schüftan:
Three years ago I told myself: "this year I either change my life for good by creating something huge and inspiring, or I simply stop living." Here I am three years later and when I reflect on what I created with Horns Up Rocks thus far, I feel extremely proud and accomplished. And most importantly, very happy to be alive and living life to the fullest. HUR reflects who I am, it is my life! I am not doing this for the fame or the glory, I am doing this because I am always seeking for the inspiration that keeps igniting my creative passion. I am always looking for that rush I get every time I interview some of the best musicians in the planet, or when I get to see amazing bands from all levels tear up a stage apart! And that rush can't and won't be extinguished, ever. TRUST ME! After many sleepless nights, after plenty of blood, sweat and tears dropped. I am ready for the next three years and beyond! I want to take this moment to thank every single person that has supported this mission, you know who you are!
I mostly want to thank my devoted team for being patient while this vision that is huger than my own life, keeps evolving: Zulie Alvarez, Javier Samaniego, Cynthia Rodriguez & all those who have collaborated along the way (a few of you couldn't hang, but that doesn't diminish your hard work that I forever will be thankful for)! If you believe in me, in my vision, if you truly support Horns Up Rocks, and are not hating on me because I am successful at what I do (thanks to working my ass off for the last three years EVERY single day), I invite you to join me this week to celebrate 3 years of amazingness!!! In the words of Ozzy Osbourne: "Lets go fucking crazy!"

This past Saturday, December 10th, Horns Up Rocks hosted the first ever Dimebag Darrell tribute to take place in New York City. The event was appropriately titled 'A Holiday Tribute Show For Dimebag Darrell Abbott' and it featured heavy hitters Marc Rizzo (Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy), and Tommy Vext (ex-Divine Heresy and Snot), among others. Although the entire event was a complete success, the highlight of the night is when Vext joined Rizzo in a stellar cover of Pantera's "Mouth For War".
Another highlight of the night, was when ShitKill opened the show with an infusion of furious Thrash Metal. We absolutely believe that these young band (all of the members are still in High School) is the New Blood of New York Metal! Not only did ShitKill perform a handful of kickass original songs, but they paid tribute to the pink beard in the sky by performing a flawless cover of Pantera's "Sandblasted Skin".
Following ShitKill, were Delaware Metallers World Lost, who never disappoint and are always ready to party! The NEW songs out of their latest album entitled 'Empowered' came across clearly and dangerous, they also made sure that everyone's neck's were ready for BorgoPass. These Long Island natives always deliver the goods, and this time around they even added Black Sabbath's anthemic song "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" to their extensive musical repertoir.
Just when the crowd hit a drunken climax, the Marc Rizzo band got on stage and delivered the goods. There is no question that Rizzo is one of the most talented guitarists of our generation. As we mentioned before, this time around Rizzo was joined by Tommy Vext, who provided vocal destruction during Rizzo's cover of "Mouth For War" and Sepultura's "Territory". Look out for a NEW Soulfly album this March!
Wrapping the night up was the one and only Slam One Down, who split their set in half in order to pay tribute to Dimebag Darrell. Their first set consisted of crowd favorite's such as "Beer Run" and "Pour One Out", and their second set was a Pantera Jam in memory of Dimebag Darrell. During this jam, Slam One Down were joined by various members of the crowd. Here are some videos courtesy of Panchito!
All in all it was a great night, and we are very proud of finishing 2011 on such a high note! But hey, take note of this:
- January 6: The Empire Shall Fall release show with East of the Wall, Alekhine's Gun, and Bangladeafy.
- January 13: The first ever "Underground Metal Friday's" at Fontana's Bar in New York City (lineup to be announced soon)!
IMPORTANT: Shane Train (Slam One Down bassist) is a "Mono" bass gig bag which had two Warwicks: A transparent black 5 string Streamer LX with chrome hardware and a 5 string Warwick Infinity with a natural zebra wood finish and black hardware.
PLEASE if you have any information regarding them. Email us at events@hornsuprocks.com. There is a substantial reward. He needs them back!
Ten years ago the world changed forever after the citizens of New York City and Washington D.C. were victims of vicious terrorist attacks. In New York City, the "Twin Towers" of the World Trade Center were hit by two commercial planes loaded with innocent passengers, and in D.C. the Pentagon was also hit by a commercial plane. A fourth plane was crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to take control before it could reach the hijacker's intended target in Washington, D.C. Nearly 3,000 died in the attacks.
Ever since then the world hasn't been the same, and ten years later we are still feeling the impact of the loss that the world experienced on September 11, 2001.
On Saturday, September 17, 2011, Horns Up Rocks is uniting forces with OFNR Radio and Bullspike Radio, to bring you an event dubbed "September to Remember". Performing that night will be Odd Zero, Biting Saints, The Saints Of Pain, Letchworth, and San Equore. Additionally, Jo Schüftan from Horns Up Rocks will be hosting and DJing the event.
Here are all the details:
When? Saturday, September 17, 2011 at 8 PM
Where? The Trash Bar in Brooklyn, NY: 256 Grand Street (L train to Bedford ave.)
What? September to Remember?
Cost? $12
Age restriction? 21+ with ID
Who?
- Odd Zero: An aggressive and driving Hard Rock band with a Metal and Punk edge. The band hails from New York City and blends old school Hard Rock, Punk and Metal to create an original modern sound. The band explodes with intense, heavy bass grooves, blazing guitar solos, powerful drums, and screaming vocals with thought provoking lyrics. They create the perfect balance between raw, frenetic energy and dark emotions.
- Biting Saints: This band employs a raw, brutal presence, technical know how and a fresh approach to lyrical content. They combine intensity and intelligence with savagery and musical approachability, creating an experience that is primordially terrifying, intellectually challenging, and deeply satisfying to the most jaded of music fan.
- The Saints Of Pain: A Dirt Metal band from Staten Island who possess their own brand of, dirty, sexy, oil drenched, high energy Rock N' Roll. This four piece power house straight out of the NYC underground perform songs that speak to the heart of the listener. The hard charging raw style of the Saints never fails to please.
- Letchworth: Not only can this band play a mean blend of Heavy Metal and Hardcore, but they are also a group of very interesting guys with a great story to share. When many bands would have called it a day, Letchworth have stuck together through thick and thin. With the completion of their mission with United States Army, the band can now get busy playing shows and continue spreading their musical ferocity.
- San Equore: This band represents the new generation of Heavy Music bands withing the tri-state area. Their mission is to represent the Thrash Metal scene through a fresh sonic perspective. To pay homage to their heritage, they decided to name their eventual band 'San Equore,' "San" meaning "Saint" in Spanish and "Equore" meaning "Metal" in Albanian.

We hope to see you there! Put your Horns Up for the victims of 9/11! \m/
In the past year we have seen a lot of great bands take the New York City Underground Heavy Music Scene by the horns, and collectively they are helping to drive the scene to the sky passed the top of the Empire State Building! One band that is helping out by always delivering the goods is Ikillya. Fronted by vocalist Jason Lekberg, Ikillya's new album titled "Recon" is a fresh sounding groove machine full of furious well polished songs. "Recon" was produced and mixed by Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Hatebreed, This or the Apocalypse) and engineered by Paul Suarez (Lamb of God, Avenged Sevenfold), Ryan Kelly (Opeth, Orbs), and Armando Subero.
Tonight, Ikillya is taking center stage at the The Trash Bar in Brooklyn NY. Joining Ikillya will be Resolution 15, Slam One Down, World Lost and Hellshot. Additionally, Jo Schüftan from Horns Up Rocks will be hosting and DJing the event. This event is not to be missed, here are all the details:
- Date/Time: Saturday, September 10, 2011

- Cost: $8! OPEN bar from 8-9 PM!

10 PM - Slam One Down
11 PM - IKILLYA

Ikillya’s debut music video for their first single off "Recon" “…And Hell Followed With Him” was shot by seasoned director Frankie Nasso (All That Remains, Mudvayne, Hellyeah) in Staten Island, New York. “Being able to work with the amazing Frankie Nasso and his team and then have "Recon" be the #5 most added album with no label support is simply mind-boggling” said Ikillya vocalist Jason Lekberg, “We've got lots more work to do and we thank those who have worked with us so far for helping get us off to such a great start.”
